A flat area no larger than four [[unanit]]s to a side is divided into four quadrants of roughly equal size. A hoop and ball are used. The ball is a modern replacement for the traditional flergit beast bladder. The hoop can be made of wicker or woven reeds or, in professional play, it is often made of studier driftwood.

	The two players are positioned in quadrants of opposing corners. Traditionally they are the southernmost and northernmost quadrants but there does not seem to be any reason for this. A "flurry" begins when the first player – the ''baller'' - throws the ball at his opponent. The opponent – the ''hooper'' - has to toss his hoop at the other player. Each player tries to dodge the projectiles by leaping into one of the adjoining squares. At the end of each flurry, the roles of baller and hooper are reversed and a new flurry begins. A game is played to 16 flurries.		The two players are positioned in quadrants of opposing corners.

	Actually, in Burgentute's defense, he did inadvertedly tip me off that this might be happening when he came around the other day to my cubicle and offered me insider information on the upcoming Hoopkah tourney. He said that he had seen the results of the match ''in print'' and told me he was going to get some chums to go in on a bet with a '''friend''' of his. I quickly went to my notes to check on his information and found my draft of this article missing. That, and I lost my bet on the Fefferberrys when they lost to the Deathbugs. I never dreamed I would be robbed twice. --[[User:DrAckroyd\|Dr. H. L.
